Summary
The purpose of this study is to determine whether patients with persistent memory problems
after Lyme disease benefit from an additional longer course of IV antibiotic therapy; to use
modern brain imaging technology to determine whether the problem in the central nervous
system is primarily one of poor blood flow or one of impaired nerve cell functioning; and to
try to identify biological markers prior to treatment that will identify patients who are
more or less likely to respond to the study treatment.
